Anyone want to buy mega rig? I'm selling it and focusing on piano.

Good idea

How old is piano?

It might be tough moving a Hammond around here but one of the guys might take the Leslie off your hands.

^ It's ok. I just figured I'd announce it here. If it doesn't sell locally, I'll auction it on ebay.

I'm selling my digital Hammond rig.

Do what?!?!

I figured you'd be buried with the mega rig.

I'd think you'd always have a gig if you got great at Hammond...

Thought you meant a guitar rig of some kind..

The Hammond is cool & you seem to know your way around it....

Piano's, on the other hand sound wimpy and kinda suck

[Clint 55]

Piano is wimpy fo sho but I'm embracing it because it's the instrument I'm best at for some reason. I can always play a keyboard into a metul guitar vst and work some metal.

[Phantasmagoria]

I would suggest Savatage or Manowar for the metal intro's...that way it won't sound wimpy

Also always remember "if you sprinkle as you tinkle (the ivory keys), be sweet & wipe the seat"

Sorry, I didn't see all these comments.

Yeah, I got tired of it because I couldn't get recordings to sound good. It was a combo of the synthetic sound and feel, but also my technical skills not being good enough to control it. You have to be mega focused on rhythm and time feel since there's no touch and an exact cutoff on the attack and release. My shakey hands just couldn't do it.

I thought of that. I can still get plenty of gigs on piano either solo or in a group. And I'd still be able to cover bass if necessary or use different sounds. Plus there's a lot of work teaching piano.

I ain't quitting foo. I'm focusing on the instrument I'm best at - piano. I don't have the talent to be a friggin multi instrumentalist. Being solid at 1 instrument is enough for me. And I'm thankful that I've become proficient by early middle age. I've reached my goal in music.

All the practice tailored toward Hammond proficiency ended up transferring over to piano really well. It was things I needed like rhythm and time feel, bass, bluesy vocab, and right hand chords.

Now I might keep it. It would be hard to part with it lol. It feels like I'm playing decently just jamming, but the recordings always end up sucking is all.

I don't understand why people keep subscribing to my channel lol. Playing it is fun, but the recordings are triggering me.
